UDIN Repository
Use the UDIN Repository in Document Vault to keep a proper record of all Unique Document Identification Numbers (UDINs) generated for your certificates, reports and other documents. This helps you quickly find any UDIN, see its status and keep supporting documents at one place.
Overview
Every time you generate a UDIN on the ICAI portal, it is important to store its details along with the related certificate or report. The UDIN Repository gives you a simple table where you can see all UDINs issued by your firm and filter them by employee, client, branch and status.
From this screen you can:
- View all UDINs created by your team members in one place.
- Search UDINs by client, employee, branch or status.
- Open attached certificates, working documents and other documents linked to the UDIN.
- Add new UDINs as soon as they are generated so that your register is always updated.
Login and open UDIN Repository

- From the left panel on the dashboard, click Document Vault.
